NETBALLERS LIGHT UP THE COURT
Ray White Inverloch has sponsored the netball uniforms of the reigning West Gippsland Football Netball Competition A-grade premiers Inverloch Kongwak .
The team have kicked off their year in style , unveiling their premiership flag as well as some amazing new playing uniforms .
After sporting their traditional blue uniforms for many seasons , the Sea Eagles this year donned brand new netball dresses covered in an incredible Indigenous design .
The new dresses , which were worn by all IK netballers from under 11s , to A-grade on Saturday were designed by Safina Stewart .
Safina is a local Indigenous artist who has moved to the area from interstate .
“ When you wear these uniforms I want you to remember the heart of what I ’ m telling you ; to be a good community ,” she said .
“ This will make you inclusive , welcoming and connected if you remember every single day – to actually live it out , don ’ t talk about it , live it out , through your attitudes , through your care and through behaviour , it ' s bigger than sport .”
“ Sport is powerful , clubs are powerful .”
